On the edge.

I am just about to leave town (in 6 hours to be exact) for 2 weeks.Almost everything is packed except this computer.Whenever I am about to travel overseas I always feel a bit on the edge. Trying to find composure where and however I can.

Traveling is unnerving and terribly strenuous in general but especially on your own. I used to live to travel - that was a long time ago.I used to only want to be able to go places. I remember being at the airport when I was a kid and a special excitement would come over me - I loved it.

There are of course two parts to this topic - the travels that one experiences to get somewhere and then the moment when one arrives at that destination. I think I much prefer the moment of arrival rather than the act of doing the traveling. I am facing a long journey ahead. But once I get there....I know how sweet it will be.
